Jewel Tone Eye Shadows: Makeup Trend Fall 2008

Fall Cosmetic Look Complements Purple Fashion Trend

Jewel tone eye shadows are a hot fall makeup trend in 2008. This soft, pretty look with a royal purple eye shadow helps this fall cosmetic look stand out from the crowd.

Pastel shades look lovely on anyone and since this look is a basic eye look it works for all eye shapes as well. With the purple eye shadows, this look will bring out green and brown eyes the best, giving them an extra sparkle. But blue eye gals, don’t get turned off. This fall cosmetic look can still be pulled off!

The following makeup products are needed:

* Eye shadows in butterscotch brown, shimmery rose pink and royal purple
* Purple eyeliner
* Rosy Pink cheek color
* Pink lip liner
* Neutral matte lipstick
* Shimmery Pink lip gloss
* Black mascara
* False eyelashes
* False eyelash glue
* Eyelash curler
* Makeup brushes and applicators

For the eyes

The butterscotch brown and the royal purple eye shadows should be matte colors.

1. Begin by applying foundation, concealer and powder to set makeup. Apply butterscotch eye shadow color to the eyelid, brow bone and inner third of the bottom lashes (directly below the tear duct).

2. With the shimmery rose pink eye shadow, apply the eye shadow in the crease. Start at the outside corner of the eye and blend with the butterscotch brown eye shadow.

3. Next apply the purple eyeliner to the top of the lash line. Lightly draw a fine, thin line as close to the lashes as possible.

4. Apply the royal purple eye shadow along the top lashes and back into the crease, creating a c shape. Blend with the butterscotch brown eye shadow and the shimmery rose pink eye shadow.

5. Apply the royal purple eye shadow along the bottom lashes and blend with the butterscotch brown eye color.

6. The more volume to the lashes, the better. It can be hard to get volume-full lashes with mascara alone. This fall cosmetic look is great look to add false eyelashes. To find the perfect set, try a beauty supply store with experienced employees, such as Sephora.

For the Cheeks

1. Apply the shimmery pink cheek color to the cheek bone. The best way to apply cheek color is to smile, find the cheek bone and apples of the cheeks. Apply the blush and blend.

For the Lips

1. Line lips along lip line and fill in lips with the pink lip liner.

2. Using a lip brush, apply the neutral matte lipstick. Blot once with a tissue paper and apply the color again.

3. To complete the look, apply the shimmery pink lip gloss.
